Sun and the clouds were having a tiff
with the sun trying to win the battle
Clouds weren’t ready to take it lying down
and both decided on a face-off
Eyes jealousy
Grey life
Pale heat
Pellucid quest
Solitudes wish

The white sands were a magnet for tourists,
while activities like paragliding and scuba diving were fun, hardihood was key
They loved lazing on the beach
and getting scuttlebutt from friends,
When they were bored
they acted as if all the information was recondite

A team of two dancers, a team of two friends,
they always hung out together
But punishment was an echo of her feelings,
when her friend’s actions were too much to not bother
Forgiveness meant being cordial and working in tandem
in the interim both of which weren’t acceptable to her,
And so with time, the wedge between them got wider
and wider and finally their relationship was wiped clean

Tranquility is
the new luxury though one
shouldn’t be lonely too
Tranquility is
all I need for keeping my
dignity always
Tranquility is
a choice but one needs to be
chary of strangers
Tranquility is
bliss when one can even hear
the howl of the wind

Another life, another situation where the genotype influences the phenotype,
Where physical characteristics are more important than anything else,
Another death, another situation where all we are left with after a person’s loss is gripe,
Where we never cared for their well-being when they were alive and are left with nothing but their smells

Having the penchant to excel despite rivalries all around
got rewarded with a trip of a lifetime,
Unable to handle the winter, he sensed that
this was the change he had dreamt about,
Drowning himself amidst a blanket of sunshine
he felt pure bliss.

Her appearance did
belie her fury and so
went her eulogy

People rushed into hospitals with a mystery illness,
Doctors lost their bearings as hospitals filled up,
Masks and PPE suits were in short supply,
Roads emptied up as people sat home,
Money dried up as companies and countries gave way
People didn’t have enough food to eat as jobs were lost,
It was a pandemic within a pandemic,
Years of disagreements between people were brought out in the open,
Differences between the haves and the have nots kept increasing,
Unfortunately some suffered much more than the others,
The pandemic had shaken the world in a way not seen in generations.

Time was nigh as far
as her plan of starting a
garden was concerned
She didn’t deviate from
her plan one bit despite the
proffer of a team
She made sure to clam
up the others saying that
it was in her mind
Once the idea
germinated in her brain,
they met as agreed

Those incessant sounds of birds all round
pale in front of anything else
flowers that are still to bloom
might overcome turmoil
still with a smile and
have set aside
time in which
to make
fruit
